Like, I don’t think “embarrassing Biden” was at the top of the reasons Trump did all this (I still think he may have a side deal with Netanyahu, though that could be as benign as “I will take care of you over the next 4 years” or as evil as allowing the annexation of the West Bank), but jfc this really has made Biden look terrible, even to libs I know IRL it’s clear now Biden could have done something at any point in the last 15 months and didn’t, while Trump clearly was decisive in making a ceasefire happen because literally every party involved other than the Biden admin themselves is saying this is due to Trump.

Edit: don’t get me wrong, I think Trump knew this would make Biden look bad to some extent but this is an absolute blowout; well beyond what I think Trump could have imagined.
